The Wolverine’s EJ Holland breaks down five key recruits visiting Michigan this week, including On300 2026 Roanoke (Va.) North Cross cornerback Jaziel Hart.

Watch the full video at the end of the story.

Hart Recruitment

Michigan secondary coach Lamar Morgan dished out an offer to Hart in June and was able to get him on campus the following month for the annual BBQ at The Big House.

Hart returned to Michigan this fall for the game against USC in September and is back on campus for a mid-week unofficial visit.

Michigan is a strong contender in the race for Hart, who is a top priority on the cornerback board for this cycle.

Here is what Holland had to say about Hart.

“Hart was one of the biggest rankings risers in the latest On3 update for the 2026 recruiting class,” Holland said. “He’s a versatile, athletic corner with room to add some weight to his frame. He can be a true outside corner, but he’s such a fun, athletic player, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see him play some nickel as well. Michigan is a top contender early in this race. The Wolverines have now had him on campus three times. LaMar Morgan has been doing a great job of building a relationship with Hart, and head coach Sherrone Moore has been personally involved as well.”

Hart will make his official visit to Michigan on June 20.

Hart recently named a Top 6 of Michigan, Indiana, Penn State, Tennessee, Virginia Tech and Virginia. He is looking to make a decision in July.

At 6-foot, 170 pounds, Hart is ranked as the No. 30 cornerback and No. 294 overall prospect nationally, per On3. He is also ranked as the No. 8 overall recruit in the state of Virginia for this cycle.

Penn State has the lead on the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine with a 78.8 percent chance of landing him. Michigan is in third place with a 3.7 percent chance of landing him.

Michigan currently has three verbal commits in its 2026 recruiting class — On300 Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin cornerback Brody Jennings, three-star Cartersville (Ga.) Cass offensive lineman Bear McWhorter and three-star Dallas (Texas) Parish Episcopal wide receiver Jaylen Pile.

Michigan entered the day with the No. 37 ranked 2026 recruiting class nationally, per the On3 Industry team recruiting rankings. Michigan is also ranked No. 11 in the Big Ten. USC currently has the top class in the conference.
